Dr. Miaari’s research focuses on the labour economics, economic causes and consequences of conflict, including on the economic costs of political instability and the relationship between economic shocks and conflict (focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict), discrimination against ethnic minorities, economic inequality, and applied econometrics. He has published a number of papers in leading journals in these areas such as in Journal of Population Economics, Journal of Public Economics, Journal of Conflict Resolution, and Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization. Among the awards he has received are the “Best Paper Award” for the best paper presented at any of Middle East Economic Association conferences between January 2016 and January 2017, the prestigious Marie Curie — Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) for career development at the University of Oxford (2017), and the Council for Higher Education in Israel (2012).
